Ordering
What is a Card Security Code?
A card security code is a unique 3-digit number printed on the signature strip on the back of your debit/credit card. This number is not embossed on the card and hence not printed on receipts. This makes it difficult for anyone other than the genuine cardholder to know it. Without this code, we will not be able to process your order.

What are Offer/Promotional codes?
Offer/Promotional codes allow you to take advantage of special discounts or free gifts that we may offer. Make a note of any offer codes before you place your order.
